Quite violent, but not bad for younger teens.

There is a movie called Troy. In the movie, it tells about a famous mythological hero. Achilles was helping Greece conquer Troy. The movie took place in Greece, but a very long time ago. It was the time when people still fought with swords and there were world leaders always trying to conquer more land. The Genre of this film is action with a bit of adventure. There was once a hero name Achilles. His father was a god from Olympus while his mom was a human oracle. One day, Greece asked Achilles to help them in the war with Troy. He went to his mother for advice. Talking to him, she said, if Achilles stays where he is now, he will live a happy life and kids. But, if he goes to war, he will take down Troy, but he will go down with it. Then next morning he left of to Troy. Achilles and his army arrive and see a Trojan temple to the Trojan god, Poseidon. They start to attack the worshipers of it and kill most of them. After a while, the king’s son comes to defend it and sees that Achilles took over it. Once Achilles sees the son come, he chops the head of the statue of Poseidon. Next morning they take their army, and decide to attack Troy. Troy’s walls are very big so it was hard for Greece to penetrate them. After a long day of fighting the Grecians come up with a very good plan. At night they craft a big wooden horse that is a sign of peace for Troy. A lot of soldiers get in it and other roll them to the Trojan gate. The Trojans accept it as a sign of peace and take it into their city. At night Achilles and his army get out and open the gates for the big army to get in. They burn the city down and run everyone out of it. Achilles goes to the highest point of the city and sees that his beloved was going to be persecuted. He runs to save her but doesn’t see a man with a bow and arrow behind him. Once Achilles gets to her, the archer shoots him in his heel and then he shoots him many times. After a while, the great hero Achilles died. After the win, all the people remember the name Achilles, for he was a great hero of Greece. The costume design was very creative and they used a lot of detail on it. It looked slim so it was like older armor with a modernistic touch. Their weapons looked like real ones and so did their shields. They could swing them so quickly and easy because they were light.

This really is one of the best movies ever. 16+ is not fair. You and your kids will enjoy watching this. It will really catch a young eye and you can talk to your kids about what heppens in the movie and they will be fascinated. Trust me. OK for kids 9+

This movie greatly impressed me with it's awesome and sweeping battle sequences and the character development that left you feeling sorry for almost everyone. It was an incredible masterpiece and one you can watch over and over again.

Brad Pitt looks great in this movie.. but back to the movie, not so great. some really cheesy lines ruin any potential some scenes have. doensn't follow the original story of Troy.. could've been, but wasn't

Okay, not great movie...

this movie was basically a repeat of lord of the rings. battle after battle which pleased my 10 year old son. a guy gets his throat cut and there's tons of blood and brad pitt's naked tush. Otherwise it's no more or less than any of the lord of the rings movies. My husband's favorite line was Will this never end? But the boys loved it. I appreciated it because we came home, brought out the oddysey and the iliad and talked about who homer was and the real trojan war. The next day my son showed one of his friends a copy of the iliad and said,"did you know that this is all one poem?" So not a total loss.

This is a really good movie! Lot's of action! Although there is some sexual content, but it is mostly implied. It will be OK for most teens.

this was a very good movie but there was a lot of violence like when achillies kills hector

i have a question im going 2 bring it in (im 12) for a greek day and i need to no if theres any real hard core sex or nudity (btw im probably going 2 only play a couple scenes) some1 please answer thank you.

this movie has not one good thing about it. It should not have been made. Do not see this film.

i love the greeks i am an expert i know everything about the greek gods,so when i heard of this movie i gave no thought to the fact that it was rated R i just rented it and saw it. it was my first rated R movie so didnt know what to expect.TO SEXUAL.i liked it otherwise.

I knew i had to see it once i found out brad pitt and orlando bloom were in it. *sigh* so many hot guys so little time. In all honesty though i found that the plot was lacking.

I watched this movie in the 6th grade and i thought that it was a great action packed movie with lots of battle scenes. I would recommend this movie especially if you liked the lord of the rings.

This is NOT a good movie. I am an action movie person...particularly the historical action. (Not all those stupid pointless action movies set in modern-day...BLEH) So I was pretty excited about this when I hear about it. BUT...they had to do it. I mean really! WE JUST CANNOT HAVE A GOOD MOVIE WITHOUT THOSE SEX SCENES! Good grief. I am glad I didn't buy it. And I know, so many people say "Its life, sex happens BLAH BLAH BLAH..." That does NOT mean we show it on SCREEN! Sex is a private thing, and we should not fill up our minds with such garbage as everyone sleeping around with everybody (like in this movie) I could preach but I wont as this is a review...but really its desensitizing. Also there was quite a bit of violence...and BRAD PITT??? Dont make me laugh. I had to turn off the movie anyways because nudity was slap in your the face- like, the first scene! I read the synopsis on wikipedia, but don't waste your money. Get something good for your kids, and yourself! People don't walk around naked in real life, and kids should NOT be getting used to seeing it. This probably would have been a great movie otherwise. My rule for movies is "if it has sex scenes, too much gore and swearing, out it goes." Its too bad cuz this could have been so good...its a great story, I have the book and its a cool movie idea...Gladiator is a good sword movie if you want one though personally, there is a bit too much blood...but watch that instead of this.

I adore this movie. Even if it has sex, you've got to be mature about it. It happens. And violence, if you think this movie has a lot of blood, watch 300! There's a gigantic splash of blood every half-a-second! But anyway, maybe not for 12-, but for 13+, great!

this movie was quite violent but well put togehter i especially like the story between paris and helen i think orlando bloom played his part well and so did Brad Pitt. i would definatley see this film again Orlando and Brad looked sooo hot in skirts buffnessssss. overall it was good i recommend it to people who like these actors and war movies

This movie is in your face for the whole time you watch it. From the moment you sit down the movie has you riveted on the TV screen. Only porblem you don't want to let anyone under 15 or 16 to watch this. Loads of fighting, lots of sex and tons of blood. You don't want to let anyone who has a quessy stomache watch this film.

It's ALL BECAUSE OF THE SEX. The violence isn't anything the average kid hasn't seen before but I don't recommend showing it to a 10 year old. It was an EXCELLENT movie, but I think that it is not for people whom are under 15. unless you are mature.

The movie on a whole was pretty good. There were some parts that were what some may call cheesy. Brad Pitt did an amazing job in this movie. p.s. awesome abs

Ok, this was a really great war movie. There is a lot of blood but you dont really see anything to bad. I thought that this movie was more sad than anything else.. I cried almost as much as I did in Titanc :O. But, again, its definently worth seeing and, Brad Pitt is amazing as usual.

Don't look at all those other reviews! This movie should not be rated R. Unless you can't take a little bit of violence and gore you should definatly see Troy. As for sexuality and nudity, all you see is half of Brad Pitts butt! This is definatly a must see for any action/battle movie fan. Everyone I know likes it!

So the movie was insanely historically inaccurate. How else are you going to get a record-breaking number of people out of their homes to see an adaptation of one of the oldest published poems ever written? The battle scenes were stunning, the art direction- phenomenal. The acting- not too bad. This movie's violence honestly didn't shake me at all, probably because I've seen most of the horror movies available at Blockbuster, and I'm a survivor of "Testosterone Movie Night" with my dad- every Friday! The sexual content was a little harsher for me to deal with, the near-brutal treatment of Briseis was tough. In general, nothing that you haven't seen before in the sexuality category.

This movie can be my new guilty pleasure, a Hollywood-style epic that captured my attention for three hours-imagine that!- and turned a whole new generation on to the charms of the Ancient Greek empire.

Hey I believe this is one of the best movies of the year. I don't know what the other reviewers were thinking but as a kid, I know that people kiss and love each other. As for the violence... PG 13 matierial for sure, I mean the worst part was the gore, which really wasn't that bad. Overall I give this movie a 11 out of 10 on quality and that anyone above 11 should be able to handle it (unless you don't like Ancient Greece or LOTR!)

This movie was very good, that is if you like blood, gore and a little bit of sex. If you have a choice whether to watch it or not, you should go unless you don't apply to the info above. If you don't apply, i would not recommend this movie to you.

I would recommend this movie to anyone who can handle movies with blood and gore. I closed my eyes at some parts. There was some sex and nudity also. This movie is not OK for kids, but think adults and mature teens will appreciate it.
